Luton vs Aston Villa Prediction 02.03.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 02.03.2024
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
• Venue: Kenilworth Road (Luton)

Just when it seemed that Luton could make a breakthrough towards the middle of the Premier League table, 3 defeats in a row followed. The one against Sheffield 1-3 at home was quite difficult. Luton is again in the danger zone and is the biggest candidate to leave the competition along with Sheffield and Burnley. These 3 clubs made it to the elite last season from the Championship, and that rare situation could be repeated when the same teams return. Luton still have a chance of success. 4 points less than Nottingham and 5 less than Everton and Brentford do not seem so irreparable, but the fact that 4 of the 10 points deducted from the federation's penalty were returned to Everton could be a blow.

Aston Villa are having one of their best seasons so far in the 21st century. This is currently the 4th team in the table with 5 points more and one more match played than Tottenham, with whom they will fight for the Champions League. Placement in the best European competition would be a grandiose success for the club from Birmingham, which has not played in this competition since the 80s, when they were once champions of Europe. The last two victories against Fulham and Nottingham give hope that it could happen again and before the very difficult schedule at the end of the season, Aston Villa will have a few more easy matches on paper.

Luton vs Aston Villa pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

In the last 4 matches at home, Luton scored at least 1 goal. In the first match played this season against Aston Villa, they lost 3-1. Luton is a team that likes to play attacking, even against teams that have the role of favourites. Probably there won't be too many changes even now. Watkins is in excellent form, as are a couple of other players in Aston Villa's forward line. This could be a very offensive game with good attacks on both sides. That's why we expect goals from both, BTTS seems like a very good betting option.
